RRSP Loans

RRSP Loans

The RRSP loan is an unsecured financing tool that allows your customers to borrow to contribute to their RRSPs and to benefit from tax deductions.

New in 2018 - RRSP loan request - Online tutorial on how to use the POS platform

If you have access to our POS platform, you can now learn how to create your client's profil, submit an RRSP loan request, and learn the different follow up option by viewing our online video tutorial.

Why your customers should contribute to an RRSP?

This type of account allows deferring paying tax on the invested amount until retirement. Income and realized gains on RRSP investments will grow tax-free until withdrawal.

Since the tax rate to your clients at retirement will be necessarily lower than that during their working years, they will enjoy greater flexibility to maintain their lifestyle.

RRSP financing

In discussing the benefits of RRSP financing with your customers, do not forget to mention that this strategy allows them to:

  • maximize their annual dues
  • recover their RRSP unused contributions from previous years
  • contribute to their RRSP even if they do not currently have the cash flow
  • achieve their retirement goals.

Advantages
  1. Easy access to funds to buy an RRSP while enjoying a competitive interest rate
  2. Opportunity to contribute more to an RRSP and take advantage of larger tax deductions
  3. Ability to repay the loan with the help of tax refund
  4. Flexible repayment formulas tailored to the client

How it works
  1. Life and disability insurance available
  2. Annual statement produced on December 31st
  3. Electronic funds transfer (EFT) from client’s personal bank account
  4. To calculate the payment on a variable loan, one month per year of term is deducted to avoid a balance at maturity, should there be an increase in interest rates during the term. For example, for a loan of 24 months, two months will be deducted in calculating the payments, which will be calculated on a 22 month term.
